Apple suddenly "opens up"! 30% Apple tax collapses, and NFTs and cryptocurrencies welcome a frenzy?
On May 2, Apple suddenly announced major changes to the App Store rules in the U.S., allowing developers to bypass the 30% "Apple tax" and directly link to external payment options! This means:
🔥 NFT free trading: Platforms like OpenSea can finally sell NFTs on iPhones, but new project launches are still banned.
💸 Users save money: Subscription prices for apps like Spotify and Patreon may drop by 20%, and Stripe's fees are only 2.9% (Apple tax used to be 30%!).
⚠️ But Apple has left a backdoor:
- ICOs, token issuance, mining? Still banned!
- Task reward tokens? Don’t even think about it!
- Payment buttons cannot be larger than Apple's, and must also be labeled "risk assumed".
This transformation stems from the four-year lawsuit between Epic Games and Apple, ultimately forcing Apple to back down. However, Chinese users are temporarily left out, as the domestic Apple tax remains at 30%, and NFT features are completely locked.
Future suspense: The EU and South Korea have followed suit to apply pressure, and a global "anti-Apple tax" wave is coming? Bitcoin may see a significant pullback; traders should manage their positions carefully and consider entering at lower levels.
